Today, we went to Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden for the Orchid Festival.

Let’s see how long this orchid lasts.

Devita’s, a little Argentinian pizza, salad & sandwich cafe up the street. I love the local art on the walls, laid-back vibe and window lighting only during lunch.

Mmmmmm…… Hamachi Kama. Tonight we hit up CoCo Asian Bistro for a farewell dinner for a dear friend. He is moving away for awhile and although I know we will most likely always keep in touch, he will still be missed. And yes, I’m pouting about it, so there, J ;p Come back unless you find your dreams.

March 6, 2011 – A Colaborative Dinner

We had one of our new friends we met through the Shoot Miami Meetup group over for a collaborative dinner.

The Spread

Apps

Home made duck prosciutto (more on that soon… I made it as part of Charcutepalooza and suffice it to say, it was a huge hit)

Bacon jam (made with my very own home made bacon, no less)

Goat cheese

Slow roasted tomato jam (also coming soon. I’m a bit behind) served with toasted flour tortilla chips.

Mains

Chris’s fantabulous grits with a slow-cooked ragout of mini sweet peppers, white onions and chipotle topped with batons of home made bacon

Kevin’s awesome lamb stuffed with herbs & garlic with a garlicky tzatziki sauce

Pitas & sundried tomato tortillas for wrap making

The meal was a complete success and I predict this is just the first of many future collaborations. 🙂

Night palm outside the Sunrise Cinema after seeing The Adjustment Bureau. Good movie. Think Dark City meets love story meets existential crisis. I forgot how good of an actor Matt Damon actually is.

The start of a pretty yummy creation: butternut squash, spinach & Italian sausage with carraway seeds & crushed red pepper.
